Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 127: The Ripp... The Butcher of the Nines

It has been about three days since I arrived withing Hallr, and It has been a blast. The people of Midgard are all crazy bastards. They love to party and kill. If you are living in Hallr, then you will experience one of these two things at least once a week. These bastards have no concept of life...well, at least that's how it is for the lower class.

Throwing back a massive jug of beer, I could hear the roars of laughter as they cheered, "ARSENE ARSENE ARSENE."

Feeling the fiery flames of the rough beer against my chest, I emptied my jug, slamming it down with ferocity as they cheered. This was my ninth cup, and it was tough, if not impossible, for me to get drunk anymore.

Flashing my white teeth, I turned to look at the bewitching blonde Viking eyeing me like meat. Pressing her breast against my arm, I could feel her hands reaching for my manhood as she found her target. Not showing any expression, I grinned, "You know the rules, fill her up and beat me."

Biting her lips, the bartender suddenly filled my cup along with the blonde and a few others before we chugged down. The night was quite young, but as time began to slip, a cold light flashed through my eyes. Looking at the bodies that littered the floor, I arose, gazing at the blonde keened over and barely conscious.

Turning to the bartender, I shook my head, handing him five bronze ore, "Send her home. It seems I will be heading home alone tonight. Maybe next time?"

"Ay, careful, Arsene. I head the Butcher of The Nines has taken Nine people already. their head, feet, and hands have all been found. Stay out of Nines street, ok. He likes to drop body parts there. "

"Much appreciated, brother. I will be sure to watch my ass." I said, firmly shaking his arms as he flashed me a smile. I had been coming to 'Descendants,' the name of this bar, for the past three days. Spending a good amount of money to enjoy my time.

Slipping out the bar, I looked up at the night sky fading into the darkness as I appeared before a particular mansion of my choice. My target was named Skad, a female, age twenty-five, Talent high, cultivation about peak stage of Realm of Man potentially in Life Gate stages although chances are low.

Smelling the air, the scent of peaches filled my nose as I stealthily stepped into her mansion. Skad was a rather rich woman that married in her early years. She had no kids as her husband died about two years ago...to her, as a matter of fact. Apparently, she claimed that she was far too young to marry and plowed five people in front of her husband. Unable to take it anymore, her husband drew his sword leading Skad to drive his own sword up his rectum, leaving him to bleed out as she returned to her orgy.

They say her screams of pleasure were so loud that her late husband died not to form the blade but rather from heartbreak. When the guards found Skad, she was covered in nothing but sperm as she continued without care. It had taken hours for her to give a statement of what happened.

Wandering the halls, I approached her room without a sound in my step, watching as she laid on all fours, being taken by a man from behind and another pounding her throat. A look of ecstasy could be seen as she moaned. Her body jiggling as the man from behind clenched her haired pulling it back, as she screamed in pleasure. Flashing my spear through one of their heads, I smiled as warm blood flowed over her naked body.

A look of confusion could be seen, but it was too late as I severed the man's head whose cock was in her mouth before Dragonsbene pierced her throat, "I wonder if you're safe to eat. Are AIDS a thing in Midgard? What are you saying, Arsene? You have an adaptable body. You will be fine. Although that is what most people say and end up getting it."

Watching the life drain from Skads eyes, I laughed as three knew souls entered my body. Surprisingly no knew changes occurred, but my power was increasing none stop. Every day I could feel my strength increase; honestly, I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore as I look completely different.

My ashen hair had grown long, while I seemed to have grown even taller, reaching about 200.6 cm(6''7). Truly I felt like I was part giant as I felt myself getting even taller. Doing my custom ritual since my first, I dumped Skads body parts around the city, more specifically her head in Nines Street, before enjoying some Skad BBQ.

Life was quite nice in this city. There were tones of strong people to eat, I cultivated when I wanted, and no enemies. Bitting into a juicy part of Skad, I beamed in joy as Yin qi filled my body. It was strange while these people focus on body cultivation; whenever I ate one of them, I would get eater Yin or Yang qi.

My first time absorbing Yang qi was... annoying as hell. I had a boner for the rest of the day. It took a while for my body to adapt, but aside from that, it was beneficial to my flames which could now get cold as ice and hot as the sun the more I devoured Yang Qi to balance out the insane amount of Yin Qi I already had.

Which became an even more incentive to start my killings again. Every night I would target someone, taking more than one if I saw they were full of potential. All that was missing was getting my dick wet.

I had been restless these past few days, especially after devouring Yang qi. Ever since then, I have been feeling more and more stuffy. Lilith had given me permission, but I felt I was betraying her doing so. But at this rate, I think I'm going to go insane. Not much of an excuse, but...

Looking at the raging beast, I sighed, thinking about that blonde at the bar. She was quite the beauty, although a little weak for my taste. I do hope she will not faint after the first few times I cum.

Devouring the rest of my BBQ, I smiled as all the Yin Qi in my body flew towards my dantian. A chilling sensation began to grip my body as I stared at the raging black sun that was my dantian. It has been growing, but no matter what I did, it seems like breaking through into the earth realm was not happening anytime soon. Guess a natural breakthrough isn't going to happen.

Pushing that aside I held Dragonsbane closing my eyes as Soulforce began to flood my mind boosting my comprehension by over ten times. Suddenly an almost endless amount of information began to assault my soul, causing me to smiled as Dragonsbane began to hum. A powerful will began to rage out as it began to take form.

"True Spear Intent," I whispered as my face paled, "Finally, Lilith can use True Sword Intent now I have mine."

Releasing my Soulforce after eight seconds, sweat dripped from my face as I erratically breathe in and out. Lilith has had me do this every morning since I awakened Soulforce. It was meant not just to train Soulforce but to gain Spear Intent. Or, as she called it, True Spear Intent.

Lilith said that all Intent is divided into two branches. True Intent and Normal Intent. While they both do the same thing, True intent isn't bound by the laws like Normal Intent is. It can merge with anything as it comes from my soul, not the Dao's like Normal Intent. This meant I could merge my bow intent into my spear, allowing it to form something new and unseen whether it worked out or not didn't really matter. Just being able to fuse wind, lightning fire, or whatnot indefinitely to gave me a massive edge.

This was another special trait to soul benders. It really seemed like soul benders were almost unstoppable. I am getting a better understanding of why Lilith and I are being hunted. Soulbenders are far too powerful. It's like we are outside the normal spectrum of normal concepts.
